Has anyone used guided mode? I was trying it out today and all is good until it gets to the target from there it wants to spin around in a circle like it's lost. Maybe I missed something but is there…Continue

Curious if the Pixhawk can only support servos at 1520μs? When I look at most tail servos they are usually running at 760μs. Will the Pixhawk support 760μs? If not what Tail servo would you suggest?…Continue

I did a few test flights with my phone using follow Me Mode. One problem I can't seem to get the copter to go faster than 5 meters per second in that mode. I would have thought that Loiter and or WPNAV speed would directly effect how fast follow me mode will fly. Does anyone know how to change the speed of follow me mode? Thank you,Sean See More

"Fred, The Heli is a 550 that has been stretched to 600. I am using a Feiyu Tech gimbal with 4 Tarot damper balls. The 6 damper balls that came with the gimbal were to firm for Heli vibrations.

"Ah don't worry have sorted it.
I saw on some site talking about 3DR radios what all the light codes are. Solid red on them means a firmware related message. I figured it might be the same on this so updated the firmware using RFD modem tools…"

"Hi Seppo,
I'm having a few dramas with my RDF900 units. One seems to be good and I'm able to 'load settings' from Mission Planner and connect to the 'RFD Modem tools' software okay. This flashes the green light when…"

"Sean,
I had that problem when my camera when it was hard mounted to my frame. Once I put the gimbal on it the problem was solved. I've got a 3 axis gimbal being delivered tomorrow that will hopefully take care of the yaw…"

"Sean,
WPNAV_ACCEL is set to 100 (1m/s/s) but you could try reducing that to 50 (0.5m/s/s). it'll accelerate more slowly as well though and there could be other unintended consequences like it'll make the "leash" that the…"

"Looks like mine was set to Face along GPS course. That explains the weird circling and also some weird tail movement when in Auto mode.
Running 3.2 on Tradheli.
Another question is there a way to slow the copter down before getting the…"

"Thanks for the report.
What's the WP_YAW_BEHAVE param set to? If it's set to 0 the yaw won't change at all. If it's 1 I think it will do the correct thing (i.e. not circle). If it's something else (like use…"

Has anyone used guided mode? I was trying it out today and all is good until it gets to the target from there it wants to spin around in a circle like it's lost. Maybe I missed something but is there a setting to change the behavior of the AC when it reaches the target? See More
